Practice Areas

Family law is at the heart of my practice. It is different than any other area of law because it impacts the very core of each individual – their family. Whether the family is only two people, includes children, or whether the individuals actually marry or not, a person’s family is the center of their individual world. I understand that when difficulties arise in the family, an individual’s personal world is in an upheaval. It is my goal to bring peace.

If you have been charged with any type of violation, from as little as a town ordinance violation to a major felony charge, you need the representation of a lawyer who is experienced in handling criminal law matters.

For most people, driving a vehicle is a necessary freedom. Our goal is to minimize the impact of a traffic violation on your record and protect your right to drive. Many people do not realize that most serious traffic violations are actually criminal offenses. In some cases, what a driver believed was simply a traffic ticket can turn out to have lasting effects on their personal freedom. Many traffic offenses can lead to serious punishment, such as jail time, in addition to substantial fines.

A good credit counselor and our attorneys will level with you when your situation requires this final stroke. Some people have no other alternative — They’ve spent years borrowing from every relative just to make ends meet. Having to deal with bankruptcy in their background is a better alternative than going without food and shelter, or than even using all financial resources only to end up the same amount or more in debt.

Everyone owns something and therefore is an owner of property – real or personal – and has an estate. REAL PROPERTY is land and buildings. Everything else that may be owned is called PERSONAL PROPERTY, such as bank accounts, stocks, bonds, furniture, automobiles, money, life insurance, jewelry, and personal effects. It is the owner’s privilege to select to whom his/her estate will go.

The purchase or sale of real estate involves contractual obligations by the parties which are usually defined in the Agreement of Sale. Our office represents both Buyers and Sellers in the residential real estate market. We will review the Agreement of Sale and propose modifications, if necessary, to protect the interests of our client. We will also help with selection of a mortgage company, title insurance company, survey, termite and structural inspection when necessary.
